It's a very basic software and there are often bugs related to tracks, like audio or video that won't go in the target track. However it can be an useful alternative to movie maker, but not premiere pro, in any way.

Versions before 2.2 are not recommended, but the new one is stable and optimized.

The only free software that don't crash anytime, and got multiple features (autosave is magic on this one). Supports a lot of video formats. There is not much effects, and the ones here are not amazing, but it's already more than I need.

The most compatible with all formats and stable on Windows of all Video editors I've tested. It's a pitty that when I'm writing this comment Shotcut does not have keyframe functionality and that effects such as Ken Burns' cannot be created.
When in future releases "hopefully" this ability will be incrporated it will be the best free editor I know. Raelitis • Dec 2017Disagree Agree

It is a free software, it doesn't crash every time like other free softwaresmahdimeskin • Feb 2018Disagree Agree

It's supposedly a "non-linear multitrack" editor, but you can't even select multiple clips at once on the timeline. A real pain.

Its design language and features are all I need from a video editor, it's also Open Source so you can make derivative versions on your own, if you know how.

They are both very high quality, but this one manages to crash even more often! It managed to crash literally 13 seconds into using it! Very stable!Bildawl • Apr 2017

Allows edit videos up to 4K/96fps in the free version, have advance color correction and multi-screen support and isn't have watermarks. Much better than Premiere Pro, but free.

no low-price software can reach the functionality of AdobePP, but Lightworks is really easy to use, and it has all functions a normal user need.
Top!

From what I can tell, it has the majority of premier's features but the free version is what I use so, I can only comment on that, but I would imagine the paid version could rival premier quiet well.

Although it is more expensive than Adobe Premiere Pro, which is a minor drawback, it is lightning fast and can make videos in HD better than Premiere, and uses less space. However, it is only for Mac users and I run Windows 10.

Complete and utter crap. It has tons of features and I agree it was a golden standard back in previous years but find one person that is actually happy with it today.
